Let's Kill Keyloggers

[Latrinsorm]

What if when you made a password you could declare three characters that were FAKE?

!

So the system would record your last password entry as well as your actual password, and compare the two.
So let's say your password was methaisbuttabcbutt, and you declared the abc as fake.
The next time you logged in you could type methaisbuttfffbutt, and that would grant entry.
Or methaisbuttzzzbutt, and that would grant entry.
But if you typed methaisbuttabcbutt, it would NOT grant entry, because it was the same as the last entry.

You would also need to have a basic lockout function after X attempts, of course, where X > 1 and X << let's say 100 (or a metric square buttload). This would totally work, folks.

Universal surveillance.

Honestly, if you are falling victim to a keylogger, throw your computer away. You're too dumb to be on the Internet.

Stick with playing on your Wii.

It's pretty telling that the only way you PEOPLE can imagine me being interested in defeating keyloggers is if I had fallen (no relation) victim to one.

You see (it's a figure of speech, we know that you don't) it is possible for me to compute the situation of a person who is not me, and so I reach across that divide with a hand of aid (2d10 temp hp).

We could have had a conversation about the relative merits of cryptographic approachs, but you'd rather revert to petty partisan bickering.

Oh well.

Real Talk: the people who fall victim to keyloggers aren't people who are going to remember passwords with special rules. You're not selling this to the right audience.

It wasn't a keylogger. I keep telling you to delete your browsing history before your mom comes home but you never listen.
